And if they win the next 3 games? What say you then?

The way to beat Henry is to stop him before he gets a head of steam. However, Baltimore is doing a great job of making teams pay for selling out to stop him. Fake handoff and Jackson is quickly 10yds downfield. It's going to be tough and we are really going to wish we had Milano for this matchup. Still, our offense just seems far more dangerous. I think our D does just enough to slow them down and our offense just continues to roll.

There are so many players on this team that there were doubts and concerns. Brown is just one one of them. Instead what we are seeing is a bunch of young players coming into their own.

Winning in the trenches is going to lead to a lot of great ball games. It makes everyone else's job so much easier.

All of these teams have good defenses. Physical teams. I feel like the Bills can beat any of them, though. The only thing that scares me is injuries. Especially with the Ravens getting Henry going again. That is a one man wrecking crew. Overall though, I think the Bills are playing chess while other teams are still playing checkers from coaching stand point and on both sides of the ball. Ravens are physical on both side of the ball but I don't think they can keep up scoring points. Houston feels like a team that is on the verge of breaking out. Stroud is a really good QB who just hasn't put it together yet as an NFL QB. They also have a legit defense. The Jets have a real dangerous defense that is so good that Rogers really only has to be a game manager. Their offensive line is suspect though. I see this team as Buffalo's biggest threat. That defense is overly aggressive though and I think the Bills can exploit that.

Oh, boy. I won?!!! Cool. I thought the Bills were going to win pretty big but to hang 47 on them?

Nobody does a scramble drill like Josh. That was Josh scrambling and good heads up by Kincaid to bail him out. Just backyard football on that play.

now force another 3 and out and put that tired defense back on the field.

You're missing the fact that an obvious Diggs jersey being changed to Dick?

I see Josh is still wearing that mitt on his left hand.

That's a relief. They're going to be under water a lot in this game.

There should be some shots. 20-30 yarders. That secondary really is weak. Maybe some longer than that too. One of their safeties is out.

The only reason Miami was successful running the ball is because the Bills didn't put a lot of guys in the box. They stayed with a 2 high shell and kept the play in front of them. And Miami did not have a lot of success up the middle. The big runs were bounces to the outside and they were sending WRs downfield to draw coverage outside. It worked, but the big play was held in check. I think the Bills will continue to play this way, force the Jags to run, dink and dunk, longer drives and make mistakes. As the game goes on, the Bills offense should just pull ahead because they'll be able to mix things up and force their defense to defend the whole field better than the Jags can. Josh is definitely going to take some deep shots in this game because this team is weak giving up big pass plays. They are still going to run a lot but this Jags defense often leaves an opening for a QB to take off and run. Look for Allen to get some yards on the ground in this one. That defense is kind of hinky. The way they play a lot of man coverage and depend on their pass rush to get home is not a recipe for success. The pass percentage will increase in this game because of the way this defense plays. I think there's a good chance that the pass can open things up in the run game. If that happens, the Jags are toast. It's about 50% of the time and that's like 1st or 2nd in the league.

Both teams have good defensive lines that can get after the QB. Only one team however, has a good offensive line. How do you win ball games? It all starts in the trenches.

A lot of games didn't go the way I thought this week. Hope the trend continues. Now lets go Falcons!

Matt Stafford happened.

Hahaha. Missed FG

One thing I am seeing is a larger percentage of pre-snap motions. What this does is, it gives Allen an opportunity to watch how the defense responds to that motion and identify what type of coverage they are in. The Saints are also doing this and there have been some early returns for both teams. These teams are being very deliberate in how they are attacking a defense. I think Josh is becoming a real headache for opposing defenses and not just because of his physical gifts. He's now winning by outwitting defenses by taking advantage of their weaknesses. Every type of coverage has a weakness and Josh is capitalizing on that. I'll go a step further, Josh isn't the only one identifying coverages. RBs, WRs and TEs are too. Players are finding soft spots in zone and identifying when they have opportunities going against man. The Bills have been extremely efficient and I think this is a big reason why. The offense is a well oiled machine right now. Let's hope it continues.

Our Dline is going to be a problem for this team.

Jax is playing man coverage 50% of the time. This could be the game we see our WRs getting more involved. I have no doubt Jax is going to throw everything they've got at Buffalo. Josh is going to be pressured, but teams that are this desperate for a win, make mistakes. I think on defense Josh will have opportunities to exploit an over aggressive pass rush. I also think that our own pass rush and back end is going to be a real problem for them. They are going to need the run to open up passing opportunities. Will they do it though? Jacksonville seems to be much better than their record would indicate. 0-7 over their last 7 games, though?.... The difference is Buffalo has shown that they can be a balanced offense and win, and Jax has not. Also, our fans are going to be merciless on this team. I think they are going to continue to shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and inconsistent play. To me it looks like all the pieces are coming together for a blow out win.

I'm thinking a quick 15-25yd pass play will immediately soften them up to the run.

I'm really curious what the 1st play from scrimmage will be for Buffalo's offense. We know Jacksonville likes to play a lot of man. Going to be interesting to see what the 1st drive is going to look like. I am not convinced that it's going to be run, run, pass in this one. I think against the Cards, the very 1st play was a pass to one of the TEs.

Thanks for that. It's something that I think should be watched throughout the season. Teams are going to be running more league wide I think so it's a going to be important. Whoever is successful controlling the clock is going to win more, at least until defenses start bringing a safety up into the box again.

It would be interesting to see time of possession here too. I would assume it's higher under Brady.

I think so too. Hard to guess who has the big day.
